Jaguars Labeled a Deadline Wildcard as 4 p.m. ET Cutoff Nears

League reporting points to a possible push by first-year GM James Gladstone for reinforcements at receiver, the secondary or the interior defensive line.

Overview

  • The NFL trade deadline is today at 4:00 p.m. ET, setting a firm window for any Jacksonville moves.
  • Jacksonville sits 5-3 in the AFC race under first-year coach Liam Coen, increasing urgency to bolster the roster.
  • CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones describes the Jaguars as a wildcard with interest in a receiver, defensive backfield help or interior defensive line additions.
  • Injuries and performance gaps are driving needs, with Travis Hunter on injured reserve, safety Eric Murray sidelined and a call for more interior pass rush.
  • Potential receiver targets named include Rashid Shaheed and Jakobi Meyers, with Jaylen Waddle viewed as unlikely, and the Saints are reportedly seeking a third-round pick for Shaheed per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
